News and a Life Update

Hello Hello Hello! To the few readers of this blog, I thought I should share with you what’s been happening currently in my life!

I have to say, that being a National Park Ranger is the goal for this upcoming summer season! I have been applying to many jobs and so far have been referred to at least five different parks. (Being referred means my resume and information was sent to the park!) I haven’t changed my life goals of becoming a permanent National Park Ranger someday in the foreseeable future, but I have been looking for a temporary job down here. Unfortunately my savings is running a little low!

However, I usually like to keep my opinion to myself on social media, because well, people can no longer have polite conversations over social media. I’m sure someday I’ll give a nice rant about it

I do my best to be sure that the articles I share are from a reliable source, or was shared with me from a reliable source!
